The all new Honda Jazz that was expected to launch this month has got delayed. As per the latest reports, the long awaited new-gen Honda Jazz premium hatchback’s launch is being planned at a later date, and is now expected to take place in the month of June.

Honda Cars India has been racking up great sales volumes with the cars that the company launched in the country last year. The all new Honda City and the New Honda Mobilio both got massive response in the Indian car market that burned the sales chart for Honda India. The car maker was also expected to launch the all new Jazz in India towards the end of last year which was later said to happen in early 2015. And now, when the Honda car lovers are waiting to get their hands on the next-gen Jazz, a recent report says that Honda has decided to postpone the Jazz’s Indian launch to June, due to some production shortage issues of the existing cars.

Jazz is not currently a part of Honda Cars India’s portfolio, as the previous Jazz model was discontinued due to poor market performance. The lack of diesel model and high price led to the discontinuation of the previous Jazz, but the all new Jazz is set to correct all that.
